That cost includes: -A trip charge to and from the single family residence and laboratory analyzing the samples. Proper collection, preservation and analysis by a NC Certified Laboratory for: BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) — your daily maximum limit is 45 mg/l, TSS (Total Suspended Solids) - your daily maximum limit is 45 mg/I, Fecal Coliform - your daily maximum limit is 400 colonies/100 ml, Field analysis of TRC (Total Residual Chlorine) performed on -site (within 15 minutes), with low level monitoring equipment which measures ug/I (micrograms per liter). Your TRC limit is 17 ug/l. A mailed copy of the sample analysis report and laboratory quality control information (Keep the laboratory results for 3 years and show them to the, DWQ inspector.,) In order to keep costs to a minimum: Make sure that the discharge pipe can be accessed. Keep the area clear of debris and vegetation. Make sure that the pipe itself and the cascade aerator does not have algae, vegetation, or debris obstructing the discharge to the creek. Make sure that the system discharges. If it doesn't discharge, then determine why and remedy. At the time of sampling, it may be necessary to make the system discharge by using water doing laundry or dishes or bathing. If you are not at home and there is no discharge when the sampling event is scheduled to take place, another trip charge will be added, until a sample can be collected. Make sure that the system has a sufficient supply of chlorine tablets to disinfect the wastewater. This will be reflected in the fecal coliform laboratory results. If the wastewater is not properly disinfected, the system will be considered non -compliant and will result in a Notice of Violation. Make sure that the system has a.. sufficient.supply of dechlorination tablets. This will be reflected in the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) results. The TRC limit is 17 ug/I (micrograms per liter). The results will be reported to the lowest detection limit that the field equipment is annually certified for. For example: 17 ug(.I may be reported as < 20 ug/I. Due to the sensitive and unstable nature of this test, any result that is measured and less than 51 ug/I will be considered compliant with permit limits.

Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than February 1, 2007. The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) specific to your property was last issued on August 1, 2002.

Complete the enclosed form and submit it to the address on the form. 9 If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Keith Haynes in the NC DENR Asheville Regional Office at. That person [or other staff members] can help you determine if you should renew your CoC. 9 If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC. This information reauest does not laertain to the Annual Fee of $50.00 billed separately by the Division's BudLret Office. No monev is reauired for this procedure.

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also'known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 6. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on. which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday).on which daily discharges are sampled . and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding'the weights .of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one. sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is.identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the .year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Page 2 of 16 1PFPV 1i 7. - Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day., The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Units" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average' under "Other Units" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Units" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled, and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform. bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. f. The quarterly average concentration is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g: A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Page 3 of 16 8. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean. of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 9. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the 'time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected. total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the. rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a .period of time . not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. 10. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). Page 4 of 16 c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 11. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.. 13. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. 1. Duty to Comply The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or disposal established under section 405(d) of the Clean Water Act within the time provided in the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement. b. The Clean Water Act provides that any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit condition is subject to criminal penalties of $2,500 to $25,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both. Any person who knowingly violates permit conditions is subject to criminal penalties of $5,000 to $50,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 3 years, or both. Also, any person who violates a permit condition may be assessed an administrative penalty not to exceed $10,000 per violation with the maximum amount not to exceed $125,000. [Ref: Section 309 of the Federal Act 33 U.S.C. 1319 and 40 CFR 122.41 (a)]. c. Under state law, a daily civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit. [Ref: North Carolina General Statutes § 143-215.6 (A)]. 2. Duty to Mitigate The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge in violation of this permit which has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the environment. Page 5 of 16 3. Civil and Criminal Liability Except as provided in permit conditions on "Bypassing" (Part II, C.4.) and "Power Failures" (Part II, C.7.), nothing in this permit shall be construed, to relieve the permittee from any responsibilities, liabilities, or penalties for noncompliance pursuant to NCGS 143-215.3, 143-215.6 or Section 309 of the Federal Act, 33 USC 1319.

Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 1 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section. c. Notice (1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24-hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering Page 9 of 16 judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its -adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action.for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit. . d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. Page 10 of 16 The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failures The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent. SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, body of water; or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority. 2. Flow Measurements Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than 10% from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. Once -through condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs, or pump hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this requirement. 3. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq., the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used. 4. Penalties for Tampering The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both. Page 11 of 16 5. Records Retention The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all reports required by this permit, for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or application. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time. 6. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the following information: a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements; b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements; c. The date(s) analyses were performed; d.

Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all of the non -discharge options available. Please provide regional perspective for each option evaluatA(-3. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area_ Connection to Regional Sewer System: clone available. Subsurface: Not permittable on site. The adjacent 3 acres had for sale sign when site visit was made. Upon discussion with Dr. Marne and realtor, the previous owner had just sold the property to the Tekavec's who plan to use total site and do not wish to encumber. their property. See letter stating same. No other property within a reasonable distance appears to be available. Other disposal options: 5. Other Special Items: FART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS There are two potential problems with locating a treatment and discharging system on this site -- flooding and meeting buffer requirements given its small size. Plans for treatment' should verify protection from 1.00 year flood. The proposed layout with the application indicated that the treatment facility would meet the 50 foot buffer requirement for property lines and surface water. This should be considered in the building layout to avoid conflict. It is recommended that a permit be issued for the facility. We have no objection to the use of General Permit Number NCG540000.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director Dr. Sheldon Marne 704 Oakwood Street Hendersonville, NC 28739 Dear Dr. Marne: AM I DEHNF-1 July 30, 1993 Subject: NPDES Application No. NCO083585 Dr. Sheldon Marne Office Henderson County I was mistaken on a few of the points we had discussed during our conversation of July 29,1993. The discharge you propose would be covered under General Permit Number NCG540000. Therefore instead of receiving an individual NPDES permit, you would receive a Certificate of Coverage which states that your discharge must comply with the requirements of the general permit. Obtaining coverage under the general permit does not require a waste load allocation to be processed, but it does require approval from our regional office. Once the regional office gives it's approval of the proposed discharge then coverage under the general permit maybe granted based on the review of the Permits and Engineering Staff. Please note that if the discharge is into a stream designated as a watershed then approval from the Division of Environmental Health is also required. In the case of General Permits, the Authorization to Construct and permit application process are done simultaneously, therefore, an Authorization to Construct request should be submitted as soon as possible. This request should be accompanied by complete plans and specifications, signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State Of North Carolina, of the treatment system you propose and a $100.00 processing fee. I have highlighted the area in your copy of the general permit which provides guidance on the minimum standards for design. I have also enclosed a document entitled Single Family - Residence WWTF RMuirements, this document will provide further information on design standards.

Subject: Disapproval of Property for standard sewer system located at intersection of Sweetwater Road and Highway 280 op right headed toward Brevard. See attached Henderson County Health permit number 21327 To: X.C. Department of Enviroment, Health and Natural Resources Environmental Managem;ent Commision National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Attention: Paul White The above property dia not pass the perk test for a standard sewer system. Therefore a discharge permit to Sweetwater Creek is -necessary to use this land. The intended use of this land is for a Podiatrist's office. The amount of generated discharge is estimated from your tables as follows: It is an office with a doctor and two employees; from the chart at 25 gallons per employee this amounts to 75 gallons. Since there is no. specific defination for medical offices and patients I used the barber shop at 50 gallons per chair or in this case 50 gallons per treatment room and with three rooms this amounts to 150 gallons. Since this amounts to 225 gallons I used 240 as a rounded figure. As shown by the attached let -ter there is no land available to pump sewage to. The closest sewage treatment area is Brevard, N.C., . approximately 10 miles away. There is no anticapitated sewer system for Henderson County in this area either. Due to the,low gallonage.a sand filter system would best suit the need, The permit application and fee are enclosed.

The Henderson County Dept. of Health has stipulated that this property cannot have a conventional septic system. 2. The city of Brevard sewer system is at least ten miles west of the property, and at ($10.00) ten dollars per foot of sewer pipe the cost would be over ($520,000) five hundred twenty thousand dollars. 3. There is no land to be rented or purchased to utilized as a drain field. 4. If the property to the east would be made avaliabe it would be cost prohibitive to this user as a drain field. I+ would require a pumping station and again there is no land avaliable. In conclusion there is no option avaliable other than the sand filtration and discharge into Sweetwater Creek. I am in the process to take the certified waste water treatment plant operator class 1 examine. Th f your prompt consideration.
